I have not seen (yet) a 96-00 civic with vtec on the valve cover... does that mean that they don't have vtec?

 

i beleive they all do, it does not say it on the valve cover though.

 

yea all ex's have vtec... the 96-00 (y8) motors usually just say HONDA across them.

 

Just look for a solenoid to the left side of the head unit. If it's present then its VTEC if not then no V-TECH.

 

FYI, the only sohc vtec engines that had VTEC on the valve cover were 94-95 d16z6 and jdm d15b.

 

yes they are, they don't advertise it on the 96-00 single slammers.
